Arrival Airport
While others fly into Salt Lake City, Heber City Municipal Airport (KHCR) is closer and less congested. Heber City is only 20 minutes from Park City, making it ideal for Sundance attendees. Wherever you land, we can arrange ground transportation to navigate the snowy mountain roads.
Luxury Accommodations Worthy of the Festival Experience
Park City offers exceptional luxury accommodations that perfectly complement the prestige of the Sundance Film Festival. Deer Valley stands out as the ultimate destination for unbeatable luxury, featuring Park City’s most prestigious hotels in a setting that resembles something out of a Christmas movie. The Hyatt Centric Park City is an excellent choice for festival-goers, positioned close to Main Street with ski-in/ski-out access, pet-friendly amenities, and featuring the acclaimed Escala Provisions Company restaurant. For those seeking more private accommodations, Park City’s vacation rental market offers an impressive selection ranging from intimate studios perfect for couples to expansive luxury private homes with every imaginable amenity. Many properties outside the downtown core provide some of Park City’s most luxurious accommodations and amenities, often at better rates than downtown options during the festival.
Beyond the Screen: Exploring Park City’s Attractions
While the film screenings are the main attraction, Park City offers a wealth of activities and experiences for Sundance attendees. Historic Main Street is an absolute must-visit destination, featuring charming art galleries, unique boutiques, historic sites, and renowned restaurants that create a vibrant atmosphere throughout the festival.
